The Moon

I woke up a while ago, and couldn't get back to sleep, so popped my head outside and saw this near-full moon. Decided to try for a photo. A tripod-mounted 500mm lens with 2x converter gave this result:


Neighbours probably thought I was a peeping-tom, as I stood on my balcony in my slippers and pyjamas, wielding a huge lens, but many are the embarrassments the photographer must endure to get that perfect shot! (For a hilarious account of the downside of being a wildlife photographer, have a read of THIS BOOK. Absolutely brilliant!)
